[Husker] Nebraska 76, South Dakota State 67

[Martin, Douglas]

A little plug about basketball talent here in Siouxland.  Of course most know about Kirk Hinrich who is with the Chicago Bulls who is from Sioux City West.  Ben Jacobson who is currently a star at Northern Iowa is on many preseason All-star lists and is from Sioux City East.  The below-to-referred Nate Funk is from Sioux City Heelan.  Also I am sure everyone knows the legacy of South Sioux City girls basketball.  It is strange to most from other parts of the country to learn that Siouxland is a relative hotbed of basketball talent.

Probably the less said about this one, the better.  At least early on  this
season, NU is showing the tendancy to play up-and-down, depending upon  their
competition.  Up 17 at one point in the second half, couldn't put  away this
team that wasn't very good. 

Grand Island's Wes Wilkinson continues to play well.  Unofficially, 17 
points and 10 rebounds.  He's averaging around 15 and 8 so far. 

This was a definite "tweener" game ... located on the schedule between UAB 
and Creighton.  Next up is the Creighton Bluejays on Sunday at the Qwest 
Center (1 p.m. tip off - televised on Nebraska Educational Television).  
Creighton's star, potential NBA-er Nate Funk is still out with an injury.   He won't
play against NU.  Despite the way NU has played this year (up and  down
inconsistency), if they win against Creighton, they'll be right on  schedule.  With
Funk out, it'll be a big disappointment if they  don't.
